Vacuity

Etymology as Entertainment. Again.

I changed the theme.

And, naturally…I spent all the time I SHOULD have been writing a new post doing THAT…so you get another warmed over, vacuous one…

Call it “Sesame Street” for ostensibly educated adults.

Here’s a list of words chosen merely because I like them. They’re fun.

And the letter of the day is………….

terpsichore
triskadecaphobia
thermocouple
tremulous
thwart
teetotum
tweed
twee
tincture
tzatziki
tuft
tenterhooks (this post is all your fault, Kathleen…)

Got more? Comment – enlighten me.
